I sit on this island                                                           ­                                                 I sit on this boat
             ill-equipped                                                     ­                                                   ill-equipped
 ­        How I got here?                                                            ­                                        How I got here?
             well... by ship                                                                                             ­     island trip...        
  
         I simply stare out                                                              ­                               I gaze upon the
                   upon the sea                                                              ­                            empty sea
             No ounce of hope                                                             ­                          All out of faith
                         left for me                                                               ­                     inside of me
          
                  I think of times                                                            ­                   I recall the time
                   away from land                                                             ­               earth so grand
                        My tears drop                                                             ­           Sobbing quietly
                         splash on sand                                                             ­        into my hand
          
                     Huh? What's that!?                                                           ­ Wait! Is it true!?
                                           could it be?                                            more than sea?
                                 Swimming, swimming                           Rowing, rowing
                                                          ­      hurriedly            steadfastly
                          ­              
                                                  ­                       SHIP!  LAND!
                                                           ­                    I'm free!
                                                           ­                         ...
Quick write... Hope yall's get it.
Look into her eyes
and tell me what you see?
look through her soul
is that pain you see?

Now,
look at her face
is that a smile you don't see?
is it gone?
where to?
don't you know?

Tell me,
don't you remember?
the sleepless nights
the day terrors
don't you remember?
the pain you caused
the love you destroyed
don't you remember?
how you left without a word
how you deserted her with no goodbyes

Now tell me,
who should we blame it on?
her?
should we blame it on her for loving you?
or
you?
for playing her?
or
should we,
should we blame it on love and life?
they both wreck us in the end don't they?
Writer's block is a *****.
Message me for any ideas.
it was raining
that day after
class
seventh grade

and I,
socially akward
braces
gangly
quiet

abandoned my thick
black glasses,
tossed away
refrain

and

danced in it.

"get out of there."
this came from
my gym teacher
on duty
afterschool.

dripping wet,
I kicked a puddle
his way
in response.

There once was a man on the moon
He said, "I'm leaving quite soon"
He packed up his bag
And folded the flag
And said, "I'll be there at noon".

Please put your scarf on.
He ripped her heart out
with pure cruelty.
He took her innocence away.
Left her with nothing but
shame,
regret
and endless nights of grief.
Left her with nothing but
nightmares, that haunted
her reality
and vivid dreams.
Left her with no feelings,
no emotions,
no virtue,
no heart,
no mind.
Left her with nothing but,
this state of never ending numbness.
I love you.
Those three litte words,
either make you or break you.
They broke me.
Scattered me,
from the core of my heart.
Turned me into dispersed bits
of nothingness.

Lost myself.
Lost my will.
Lost my feelings.
Lost within those three little words,
that turned my world upside down.

I fell
into
this
infinite
hollow
of
nothingness.
While
you
lied
and
I
believed
&
you
schemed
and
I
was
deceived.
Arms held out
Like slender branches without leaves
Unable to receive the sun
Waiting
Tired – and waiting
Till when?
For what?
